House at the Edge: A World of Gothic: Greece Kindle Edition

He wants her out of his house. The house agrees…

After losing everything—her family, her home, her sense of self—former heiress, Daphne Alesi, has no choice but to start anew. Broke, unwanted, and suffering from a rare condition that makes defining her emotions mind-numbingly difficult, the only thing she has left is a strong will to survive. 

Starting over on a remote Greek island, in the dead of winter, just because it was her grandmother’s birthplace might be a foolish plan, but staying in England is not an option.

The people of Alonissos are far from welcoming, not least the brooding recluse whose home she literally invades. The infamous House at the Edge is rumored to host a ghost—the soul of the enigmatic owner’s deceased wife. But it will take more than an angry spirit to send Daphne fleeing. 

Being emotionally detached has some benefits, after all.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

MM Jaye's mom claims that she spoke her first word at the age of six. Months. As a kid she would record fairy tales in her own voice, play them back and then re-record adjusting the pitch and tempo. Later, she used her voice to inspire young adults and teach them the art of translation. But there came a time when life took a turn for the worse, and her voice temporarily died out. That's when she turned to writing.

Fate Captured is the first book in her Greek Tycoons series, set on the Greek island where her husband proposed. MM Jaye lives in Athens, Greece, with her husband, daughter and Kindle.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect blend of horror and romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2016

I make it a point to read everything that MM Jaye writes. This, despite the fact that she writes in genres I normally avoid; namely, romance. Yet, her writing is so smooth, with charming characters, flowing pacing and a wicked underlying sense of humor, that she has become one of my favorite authors. Plus, Greece: all of her stories take place in Alonissos, one of the Greek islands.

As expected, this one didn't disappoint. Her tough-yet-vulnerable heroine has her Scooby Doo moments in a haunted mansion. Despite the potentially heavy emotions and more than a few brushes with death, there is a refreshing lightness to the book that kept me hooked. The perfect blend of supernatural horror and romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspense, romance and humour all wrapped up in a great book!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2016

This is the first time I have read such a genre. I loved the combination of suspense, romance and humour. It totally captured my attention right from the start!! I liked the fact that I could relate to the main character, Daphne, who is very dynamic and decisive when she sets a goal. I also loved the fact that while I was reading it, I thought I had guessed the ending right, but MM Jaye managed to surprise me and fascinate me. If you love mysteries and romantic stories, you should definitely NOT miss out on this one!!

This is the first I've read by this author, but I'll be looking for more. The house in this story is a character in itself. I though I had it figured out, but she threw me a twist.

Another book in the A World of Gothic series, and it is fantastic! The heroine has a condition I've never heard of, but it was a fascinating element to include and worked perfectly into the story. I loved the setting of the remote Greek island. The story will grab you right off and you won't be able to put it down until you find out exactly what is going on in the 'House at the Edge.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Gothic Mystery Romance!
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2016
I was lucky enough to get a pre-publication peek at this one. Since I’m a fan of Gothic romance, I fully expected to enjoy it, but, reader, I loved it!

Daphne, brought up in America and Britain by wealthy and successful parents, has lost everything, including her parents and their fortune. Already handicapped by a condition that prevents her distinguishing and defining emotions, her confidence is further shattered by a nasty break-up. But Daphne is a fighter. Determined to start anew, she leaves everything she knows behind her and travels to the remote Greek island where her grandmother was born – in winter when there are no tourists and work is scarce. From desperation, she more or less foists herself on the local wealthy recluse, Petros Varnezis, who lives in an inaccessible mansion known as the House at the Edge, as his cook.

Petros is gorgeous, grumpy, and grief-stricken. It’s not surprising Daphne falls for him – I did! But all is not as it seems. The house is haunted, apparently by more than memories, and Daphne is clearly not welcome. However, I’m not going to tell you the whole story here because you should read it yourself!

The setting of a Greek island in winter is both vivid and charming, as well as authentic. M.M. Jaye is Greek, and although English is not her first language, she writes as though it is. In fact, I loved her style. Told with humour and a lovely turn of phrase, House at the Edge is a truly Gothic read – spine-tinglingly atmospheric, deliciously romantic, suspenseful, great fun, and very hard to put down! At only 99 cents, you should definitely take a chance on it, and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars A stubborn heroine, a sexy hermit and a spooky house, the perfect blend for a paranormal romance.
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016
If you want to read a a fun romantic/paranormal book that you really can't put down, then The House On The Edge is for you. I laughed out loud at a spesific scene where the protagonist climbs through a window... she is determined and stubborn and definitely not a pushover heroine that is for sure. I like that, and I am sure that you are going to love this clean, tasteful romance and the setting of this story. What a delightful plot with believable, entertaining and witty characters. * I received an ARC for reviewing purposes*
